Safety First Operating instructions

Coolant

General notes
The cooling system is factory-filled with an anti-freeze product.
Coolant consists of a mixture of water and 40% anti-freeze additive. This
mixture gives the required anti-freeze protection at temperatures down to
+25 °C (+77 °F) and protects the cooling and heating system against corro-
sion. It also prevents scaling and raises the boiling point of the coolant con-
siderably.

The coolant concentration must not be reduced by adding water, even in
warmer seasons or in warm countries. The concentration of the anti-freeze
additive in the coolant must be at least 40 %.
If greater anti-freeze protection is required in very cold climates, the propor-
tion of the anti-freeze additive can be increased, but only up to 60 % (anti-
freeze protection down to approx. -40 °C (-40 °F). Any excess in this propor-
tion would reduce the anti-freeze protection and affect the cooling effect.
Vehicles for countries with cold climate are are supplied with coolant protec-
tion down to around -35 °C (-31 °F). The proportion of the antifreeze addi-
tive in these countries should always be at least 50 %.
The type of anti-freeze to be used for topping up is indicated on the coolant
